One day at a time ..small steps..day 2 ...Good morning and Happy New Year
I was talking to one of my mates and thought this might be a useful tool to run along side the challenge.
I'm going to start it today all I have to do is on the 1st put 1 penny in a jar on the 2nd 2p and so on so on NYE next year you would put £3.65 in the jar. If you make if that far you will have over £650 saved up.
Hello everyone & Happy New year to you all ☺
Thanks to Dean0 and Martin for organising this thread.
I would like to join this challenge if i may please as i really want to put the past behind and every little tool in recovery will aid me going forwards.
A little background story.
Active gambler for over a year. My poison was/is online slots however i took myself to some places and casinos too. Realised i am falling very low in 2013. Found this site and gave it a go ☺..one of the good choices in my life! 😉
Had two sets of counselling, self exclusions, one GA meeting,...& countless slips in the last three years. My journey is ongoing, i have many more deep rooted issues i need to address...
I am here to give my all and reach for a better life.
My last gamble on slots was 21st June 2016.
Let's do this soldiers, let's claim our lives back
One day at a time

thats similar to what im going to be doing only on a weekly basis and with £1-£52 once ive cleared things il work from £52 down and when I can afford extra it will be the larger numbers so by xmas it should be a massive winfall in the account for xmas
I've just joined the site. Been gambling for several years now, managed 2 years gamble free but made a stupid decision last week and have been playing the roulette wheel in the local bookies.
New years day comes and I've reached rock bottom yet again another £100 down the drain.
It's time to stop so today is day one for me. Good luck to everyone else in the challenge let's hope we accrue lost of gamble free days between us all.
Oldham I love that idea...going to start today too
Top idea that Oldham
I would like to be included in the 2017 challenge. After numerous attempts to quit for good since 2009-2010 I'm back on day 1 again. New Year new start can't be a bad thing!
Have installed an app today with a timer on it indicating the days, hours, minutes and seconds since last gambled. A reminder of the time past will hopefully give me a positive feeling when checked.
Sick and tired of it all now. Time to stop for good and joining this challenge will give me a kick up the backside I need.
All the best to everyone already signed up
Hi, please could I join if it's not too late?
My problem is online gambling, slots and blackjack specifically. It's been on and off for about 18 months but I always go back to it.
It's day 1 for me. I've found this website a great support today. I even logged into a site but didn't do anything; so proud of myself!
Day 1 GF continues...
